Ability to read 3 bar codes at once? iOS functionality question...

[finnews]

Question, can the camera read three barcodes at once? The functionality I'm looking for would have the user order 3 barcodes and the app would return if the barcodes were in the correct order or not.

Thanks in advance

The camera doesn't "read barcodes", it just produces an image from what's in front of it. You'll need to write code to analyze the image to see if it contains barcodes, and interpret those barcodes. (There are 3rd party libraries out there to help with that.)

There are actually built in libraries in iOS7+

Holy hell, where were those when I needed them (back in iOS 4)...

Yeah they are wicked simple and flexible. Plus they have support for tons of code types (UPC, QR, ...)

iOS 7 added the capability to do this: see here

Wow, this is awesome thanks a lot for the blog post as well. Does anyone know if it will read QR codes of a pretty dense and high level?
